Eaton P3BHFD3150 Circuit Breaker Plug-In Unit - UL 857
Part Number: P3BHFD3150
Quick Summary
Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit protects busway distributions, delivering reliable overcurrent protection for modern power systems. Facilities engineers often wrestle with coordinating breakers, busways, and certification-compliant protection in crowded panels. UL 857, CSA, and IEEE certifications underpin safety and performance, while NEMA compliance supports rugged field deployment. With a 150A rating and 100 kAIC interrupt capacity at 240/480 Vac (and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac), this plug-in unit provides scalable protection and straightforward integration for industrial power layouts, reducing panel space and installation time. The result is improved reliability, easier compliance reporting, and lower lifecycle costs through standardized Eaton compatibility and busway-ready design.

High-ampacity protection is delivered by the 150A amperage rating, enabling reliable protection of standard busway-fed loads while minimizing voltage drop and heat buildup; the business impact is improved efficiency and reduced panel congestion when expanding distribution. In practice, this three-pole, F-frame plug-in unit integrates smoothly with Pow-R-Way III busway architectures, delivering fast commissioning and consistent protection across critical lines. The 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 and 480 VAC ensures resilience against high fault currents typical in industrial facilities, reducing nuisance trips and safeguarding downstream equipment. This capability translates to lower downtime and easier regulatory compliance in manufacturing floors and data-center corridors. Grounding options of 50% integral or housing grounding simplify installation in chassis with mixed grounding schemes, reducing wiring complexity and labor costs. Compact dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and a 25 lb weight support easier relocation, retrofit, and inventory management in constrained spaces. Compatibility with NEMA, UL, and CSA standards accelerates procurement cycles and minimizes risk during audits, while the Eaton family design ensures predictable performance and spare-part compatibility over the system lifetime.
